I generally agree on relying on suspend/resume, but keep in mind that doing so will greatly reduce your laptop battery lifespan.
It's a toll that I decided to accept, but most people aren't aware of that.
- michaelmrose 6y agoYour drain over a reasonable period for example unplug your laptop and shove in into a bag and take it out 1-8 hours SHOULD be relatively small. For example this now admittedly dated review seems so suggest a drain of about 0.6% per hour. https://lifehacker.com/how-much-battery-life-does-sleep-mode-really-drain-5526542 https://lifehacker.com/how-much-battery-life-does-sleep-mode... However the internet is seemingly full of complaints that machines drain fast during sleep so your experience may not be unusual but it might pay to check if something is wrong or at least sub-optimal. For example GPU not actually turning off, usb device keeping it from sleeping, hardware or software waking up your machine.
